Selected value not appearing after refresh()

[awead]

I'm in a Rails+jQuery app, building my options for combobox using some json that I grab via ajax. If my field already has an existing value, I can't get that value to be set within the box.

I'm currently trying to add the "selected" attribute when I populate the list of options if it matches the current value:

if (json.value == current_value) {
  html = '<option value="'+json.value+'" selected>'+json.text+'</options>';
}
else {
  html = '<option value="'+json.value+'">'+json.text+'</options>';
}
$('#field select').data('combobox').refresh();

But that's not working. Is this the same as #75 ?

Is there another solution, perhaps passing in the selected value when combobox is initialized?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried this:
$('#field select').val('0');
$('#field select').data('combobox').refresh();

This should work as long as you are calling the refresh at the end.
Seems to work in the latest version.

If you want a simple test you can fork and setup your scenario to the test app. It's just a rackup that can be deployed to heroku for free.
